Its indeed very hard to let people believe in the bitcoin

Open yourself a shop, and show, how it work, positively.

For a local business, you will find 1 from 100.000 costumers that will pay in bitcoin.

Online things can be more easy but local is almost impossible.

First tr to promote the concept of bitcoin in your local area to everyone and make sure that now they will adopt bitcoin easily without any hurdle so when you will then start a local business and people will start using your service then other local businesses will also use bitcoin for themselves.

It is actually not so easy to make a shop and accept bitcoins for it as a payment... because maybe people around you are still not aware of it and making them know about it would take some time... first someone should try to do some survey in the town to know the interests of different kind of people and if you really find it in their interests then go for it...

But if he provide all of those products which are all imported and all of them are unique and amazing for the community around him then people will like to buy that things and for that they will learn about bitcoin and will start to buy things from him with bitcoin.

You should explain them the benefits of accepting Bitcoins as payment. Your transactions cannot be traced by government and so your income will be tax free.Payments once you got through bitcoin cannot be replaced to customers.You should explain these benefits. Rather you could show them video documentaries about bitcoin to make them understand easily.

First of all, all the transactions can be traced since anyone can see the blockchain and see every single transaction ever made, second any income can be taxed even if the tax for something is zero it should be declared to avoid problems, for most business owners if you said something like that they will run away from bitcoin and never come back.

if the environment around you is quite of old mentality

Payments are made not with mentality. Who have no BTC, they goes to use money from income.

It's quite hard to convince people who doesn't have at least a reasonable knowledge about this "new" payment system... I sell musical instruments and electronics cheaper (10%) if the client negotiate with Bitcoin. I also sell shirts and lotta music related stuffs. I put in local newspaper that I accept Bitcoin, but I just sold ~10 itens directly.

The most basic thing is the mentality of people living around you, if they have any interest in something like bitcoin then you will probably get some customers but if the environment around you is quite of old mentality who does not like any change then it would become hard for you to run a business accepting bitcoins as a payment for it.

With bitcoin, there is no such thing as insurance company that will back you in case you got problem with bitcoin.

No such problems.

How come an NSFW sites offer a insurance company? Or you just miss quoted this message? And maybe you need to make your own thread and don't stumble your site in the comment section people don't ask about that and its Out of topic since the question is not similar to your posted messages, and if you really running one of those how can you make sure that you would not run their money?

However internet advertising of bitcoin can help local business if and only if they are themselves willing to accept it - which I am afraid from my own personal experience, not.

You cannot say that local businesses will not prefer adopt bitcoins. There are reasons why they are now willing and not willing to do so for now maybe one simple reason must be they know little or nothing about bitcoin. But, as time goes on, it will get to a time that most of those businesses will be begging you to pay them through bitcoin. I am sure those magic times will come in real soon.

The only reasons I can think of is that merchants either haven't heard of Bitcoin yet, or they are afraid to incorporate Bitcoin payments into their site due to the volatility. In case of the latter option, they are wrong.

Volatility isn't something merchants have to deal with as 95% of the merchants are using a payment processor to have all their Bitcoin sales converted to fiat directly. They don't risk anything.

I think that's something a lot merchants don't seem to realize. They probably think that when they sell something for $100 in BTC, and the price goes down, that they lose money.

If that's really the case, then more needs to be done to inform merchants about the benefits of having a payment processor such as BitPay to work for them.

Personally I think one of the bigger problems with bitcoin is that although is very easy to use, it can be difficult to grasp for the average person; the concept of an electronic currency with no government to back it up seems odd for the average person.

I agree this is one of the concern of the merchants. Basically legit merchants wants to use things that are approved by the government so they don't have to worry about tax evasion and other issue that arise with non-compliance issue. They also wanted their business to be covered with insurance so when something unexpecte happen they have someone to back them. With bitcoin, there is no such thing as insurance company that will back you in case you got problem with bitcoin.

The time when almost everyone would be using bitcoins will come for sure... but i don't think anyone would beg someone to pay them with bitcoins as in that time there will be a lot of customers for them willing to pay them with bitcoins so they wont need to do anything like that i guess...

Do not you ever see some banks are proving special discounts for using on particular shop ?
Why not we may consider them like begging to use their cards? similarly we may get times shops will provide huge offers for bitcoin payments to enforce people to pay in bitcoins.

It is still hard if people especially the business owner did not believe in bitcoin they still have a lot of doubt.
And it was the biggest problem that bitcoin have to solved.
As tine goes by indeed people will say welcome to bitcoin , but looks like it is required time longer than expected.

Its indeed very hard to let people believe in the bitcoin and if they are already not doing it and not like it they will without any doubts not step into it.
The bitcoin is a great currency but it needs more positive publicity.

WOW

Try to show it to some business owner in the first person.
You will fail.

Business owners need customers, no "the value of bitcoins today".

No usual people is paid in bitcoin to spend them.

This is really a very hard thing that we are going to encourage them to use bitcoin. But I think by just simply showing them the value of bitcoins today for sure they are going to get excited to it and will going to be a good start for them that will make a new unique trend in your community if they are going to accept bitcoin.
